I generally support the coach, but for the life of me I can’t understand why ESSIEN AND BOATENG were not part of the starting 11. You see because KPB was not in, we did not have anything going in the middle attack. everything came from the left side. Because KPB was not in A. Ayew ended up not playing a great game.

The experience of KPB AND ESSIEN in a game like that is invaluable.

also I don’t understand if he did not want to play Essien, why he chose to play Rabiu instead of ACQUAH OR BADU. I am confused.

If you go for an average coach,you get an average performance.this coach is confuse and those not know anything.But I don’t blame him too much.I put the blame on GFA for playing with the hearts of Ghanaians and wasting our resources.

I always tell u guys..local coaches cant help us at the world stage…this warm weather in brazil u got suit and tie on…how can u think???..AA wasn’t even talking to the players..he stood there like nothing is going on…i don’t know but i feel we can do something against the Germans..gud luck black stars.
